Tiger Woods hasnāt spoken to Jon Rahm since his defection to LIV Golf. Reasons Below
Previously, Rahm was one of the few high profile golfers, along with the likes of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, to pledge his future to the PGA Tour following the emergence of LIV Golf. After defecting, the Spaniard made efforts to contact his former tour-mates, and while McIlroy has been supportive, Woods has apparently left Rahm on read.
āI mean, Tiger, I texted him and the people that try to reach out, you know, the process, when I signed and I just let him know, āHey, you know, this is a personal decision. I have nothing against anybodyā,ā Rahm told ESPN in February.
After hinting that Woods hadnāt answered his texts, Rahm said: āRory has been supportive publicly of my decision, and he was privately as well.ā He also refused to shy away from accusations that his decision to quit the PGA was motivated by money.
āThis is a new change. A big change. I donāt want to skip through this point: A big change how golfers get compensated. Iād be lying if I said it wasnāt a big part of it. In a nutshell, Iām getting more to play the same sport and have more time. I donāt know about most people, but that sounds great to me,ā he said.
Rahmās stuttering start with LIV Golf
Despite being the highest-paid player in the history golf, Rahm isnāt exactly playing like it. It was widely assumed heād start racking up titles as soon as the year began, but the two-time major champion hasnāt registered a single victory on the tour yet.
Speaking ahead of the 10th event of the season in Andalucia, in his native Spain, Rahm insisted the 54-hole format ā a format he once labelled ānot properā golf ā wasnāt having an impact on his form. That said, he has urged the powers that be to consider switching to 72 holes.
He also gave himself āa six out of 10ā for the campaign thus far, and stressed that he just needed to find some consistency. āThereās been weeks where I feel like I scored a lot better than I felt,ā he told reporters. āAnd thereās been a couple weeks where it could have been better.
ā[I] havenāt won yet so that would deduct quite a bit from [my rating for the season]. I would say maybe six out of 10 if I had to say. But the year is not over. [There is] still a lot to play for.ā
